The designs of the medals are similar in all the provinces that produced one, differing only in each depicting the shield of the particular province's coat of arms, as well as the province's official flower (the [[Rosa acicularis|wild rose]] for Alberta, [[Pulsatilla nuttalliana|prairie crocus]] for Manitoba, [[Viola pedatifida|purple violet]] for New Brunswick, [[Epigaea repens|mayflower]] for Nova Scotia, [[Cypripedium acaule|pink lady's slipper]] for Prince Edward Island, and [[Lilium philadelphicum|western red lily]] for Saskatchewan). All are silver in colour, 32mm in diameter, and with a ring suspension. The obverse depicts the same crowned effigy of the Queen that was previously used for the Canadian [[Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal]], while the reverse displays the Queen's [[royal cypher]] with the dates of the Queen's reign, 1952 and 2022, on either side at the top. The provincial shield of arms is in the centre, on both sides of which are renderings of the official flower of the province, and, appearing at the base, is the motto ''VIVAT REGINA'' ("long live the Queen!").<ref name=ManGov>{{cite web| url=https://www.manitoba.ca/queensjubilee/| title=Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal (Manitoba)| publisher=Manitoba| access-date=11 August 2022}}</ref><ref name=AlbGov>{{cite web| url=https://www.alberta.ca/queens-platinum-jubilee-medal.aspx| title=Queen's Platinum Jubilee medal| publisher=Government of Alberta| access-date=11 August 2022}}</ref><ref name=NBGov>{{cite web| url=https://www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/corporate/promo/queens-jubilee/platinum-jubilee-medal.html | title=The Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal (New Brunswick)| date=22 April 2022| publisher=Government of New Brunswick| access-date=11 August 2022}}</ref><ref name=NSGov>{{cite web| url=https://novascotia.ca/iga/jubilee/jubilee-medal.asp| title=Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee Medal| publisher=The Crown in Right of Nova Scotia| access-date=11 August 2022}}</ref><ref name=PEIGov>{{cite web | url=https://www.princeedwardisland.ca/en/information/executive-council-office/queen-elizabeth-iis-platinum-jubilee-medal| title=Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee Medal| date=31 May 2022| publisher=Government of Prince Edward Island| access-date=11 August 2022}}</ref><ref name=SaskGov>{{cite web| url=https://www.saskatchewan.ca/government/heritage-honours-and-awards/queen-elizabeth-ii-platinum-jubilee-medal| title=Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal (Saskatchewan)| publisher=Saskatchewan| access-date=11 August 2022}}</ref>

The Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal (French: Médaille du jubilé de platine de la reine Elizabeth II[4]) or the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Medal is a commemorative medal created to mark the 70th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's accession in 1952.

The medal was awarded in the United Kingdom to people who worked in public service, including the Armed Forces, the emergency services, and the prison services. In Canada, six of the country's 10 provinces issued their own medals; the first time in Canadian history that a royal occasion has been commemorated on provincial medals. Outstanding volunteers, members of the Canadian Armed Forces and emergency services, and other people who made a positive impact on society were deemed eligible to receive the medals, with particular focus in some provinces on the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, reconciliation with First Nations and Inuit, and protection of the environment. The Queen's Caribbean realms also instituted a medal programme for the Platinum Jubilee.[5] Examples of those eligible there were members of the emergency services who responded during hurricanes and the COVID-19 pandemic and of the defence and police forces.

United Kingdom

[edit]

Design

[edit]

The medal, made of nickel silver,[6] has the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty on the obverse. The reverse shows the helm, crest, and mantling of the royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom used outside Scotland. The ribbon has silver edges, representing the Silver Jubilee; the blue from the ribbon of the Golden Jubilee medal; and the red from the Diamond Jubilee ribbon.[7] Worcestershire Medal Service is manufacturing the medal.[8]

Eligibility

[edit]

Those who received the medal for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee were:[6]

  • Serving members of the Armed Forces who completed five full calendar years of service on 6 February 2022.
  • Volunteer Reserve and ex-Regular Reservists of the Armed Forces who had received five Certificates of Efficiency.[9]
  • Uniformed cadet force adult volunteers in MOD sponsored cadet forces with 1826 days membership (not necessarily continuous) and five effective training years of which 2021/2022 must be one. An effective training year is 15 days service between 1 April and 31 March (7 in 2020/21 and 10 in 2021/22 to account for covid), with a parade evening counting as a quarter day.[9]
  • Frontline emergency services personnel who had been in paid service, retained, or, in a voluntary capacity (eg BASICS Responders), had dealt with emergencies as part of their conditions of service, and had completed five full calendar years of service on 6 February 2022.
  • Prison services personnel who were publicly employed, and were regularly exposed to difficult and sometimes emergency situations, who had completed five full calendar years of service on 6 February 2022.
  • Members of the Royal Household with one year of qualifying service.
  • Living individual recipients of the Victoria Cross and George Cross.[10][11]

Canada

[edit]

Despite the idea of a medal for Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee gaining the support of "many Tory and NDP members [as well as] nearly 90% of government backbenchers", and "many thousands" of Canadians having written to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and/or their member of Parliament to express their encouragement,[12] the federal Cabinet advised against the production of a commemorative medal for the Queen of Canada's Platinum Jubilee. This was the first time in Canadian history that such a medal had not been issued,[12] the Crown having done so for royal jubilees since at least Queen Victoria's in 1897.[13] The decision was criticized by the Royal Canadian Legion and the Monarchist League of Canada[14][15] and the provinces of Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Manitoba, Alberta, and Saskatchewan each instituted their own Platinum Jubilee medal.

The Governor General signed, on 3 November 2022, an order-in-council approving the inclusion of the provincial Platinum Jubilee medals in the order of precedence, per the Canadian Orders, Decorations, and Medals Directive, 1998.[16]

Design

[edit]
Depictions of the medals

The designs of the medals are similar in all the provinces that produced one, differing only in each depicting the shield of the particular province's coat of arms, as well as the province's official flower—the wild rose for Alberta, prairie crocus for Manitoba, purple violet for New Brunswick, mayflower for Nova Scotia, pink lady's slipper for Prince Edward Island, and western red lily for Saskatchewan. All are silver in colour, 32mm in diameter, and with a ring suspension. The obverse depicts the same crowned effigy of the Queen that was previously used for the Canadian Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, while the reverse displays the Queen's royal cypher with the dates of her reign—1952 and 2022—on either side, at the top. The provincial shield of arms is in the centre, on both sides of which are renderings of the official flower of the province and, appearing at the base, is the motto VIVAT REGINA ("long live the Queen!").[22]

The ribbon uses a new arrangement of the blue, red, and white colours found in the ribbons of the Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Medal, Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee Medal, Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal, and Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal.

Alberta

[edit]

The Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Recognition Act was introduced in the Legislature of Alberta on 22 February 2022 and received royal assent on 24 March of the same year. The act included the creation of a medal to be awarded to 7,000 Albertans who had made significant contributions to society.[23] Three minimum criteria were set for the medal recipients; the nominee must have: been a Canadian citizen or permanent resident with a tangible link to Alberta at the time the medal was granted; made a significant contribution to Canada, Alberta, or to a particular Alberta region or community; and been alive on 6 February 2022.[18]

Manitoba

[edit]

Lieutenant Governor Janice Filmon and Premier Heather Stefanson announced, on 28 April 2022, the creation of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Medal for Manitoba,[24][25] the design of which was unveiled on 2 June in the same year.[26][27]

A total of 1,000 medals were awarded at ceremonies held throughout the province during the Platinum Jubilee year. There were three minimum criteria for the medal recipients: be a resident of Manitoba or have a link to Manitoba at the time of the grant of the medal; have made a contribution to Canada, Manitoba, or to a particular region or community; and have been alive on 6 February 2022.[17]

New Brunswick

[edit]

The Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal (New Brunswick) was awarded to 3,000 deserving individuals; one third of the total medals were specifically intended for those who had made outstanding contributions to the province's COVID-19 pandemic response.[5] The program was launched on 2 June 2022 and was administered by the Office of Protocol of New Brunswick.[5][28]

Nominees had to have resided in the province or had a tangible link to New Brunswick; had been alive as of 6 February 2022; and must have made a significant contribution to New Brunswick or to a particular region, community, or field.[5] A specific focus was placed on those individuals who played a significant role in New Brunswick's COVID-19 pandemic response at the local level over an extended period of time; made a tangible contribution to New Brunswick's reconciliation efforts with Indigenous peoples; made a contribution to New Brunswick's diversity and inclusion goals; provided volunteer service at the local level; served or are serving in the Canadian Armed Forces, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and other emergency services; and/or made a positive impact on the preservation of the environment.[5]

Nova Scotia

[edit]
